Eagle One is an acceptable substitute
Whitmore was leading Eagle Squadron or Eagle Wing, since there's an Eagle-20 as well.
"Eagle-20, Fox two!"
that's also something i love. iD4 for all its cheese is the only movie i know of that actually uses the 'fox' codes.
'Fox one' signifies launch of a radar-guided missile
'Fox-two' signifies heat-seeker launch
'fox three' signifies firing the gun.

Holy shit, does he say his name? I always thought he was just saying "Oooooooohoooo." Man, that's one long misconception.
There's a scene I like in Doc Hollywood. Bridget Fonda and Woody Harrelson drive to L.A. with Michael J. Fox's car. They meet him in a fancy restaurant and Bridget's character is really excited to be there with all the stars. Right at the end of the scene there is a closeup on Michael J. Fox's face and in the background you hear Bridget ask "Is that a star?" and then Woody answers her: "No, that's just Ted Danson".
You reminded me of another part of Doc Hollywood that I love a lot. When Lou & Dr. Stone are dancing together to Patsy Clines "Crazy." As the camera moves around them, the rest of the dancers disappear and they are dancing alone. Its so romantic and sweet and shows how they love each other.
The Prague porn in Amadeus (especially the shots of snowy Prague through various archways, the plaza and alleys) and the Salzburg porn in The Sound of Music are some of my favorite shots in those movies.
I love watching the Entr'acte intermission in The Sound of Music. I'm constantly pointing out the Salzburg fortress (Hohensalzburg) on the mountain (seen extensively during the Do Re Mi sequence) and St. Peter's Cathedral (Peterskirche--with the green roof), in particular. I've been to pretty much every location in that film (the front and back houses, gazebo and lake gate included), so it's part travelogue to me.
And one of the funniest random 'oops' things in The Sound of Music is watching the grass blow from the helicopters while shooting the mountaintop scenes.

What comes to mind is a tiny little bit in MASH where Henry Blake is getting ready to leave for a day trip to Seoul and he's talking to the nurse with whom he's been fooling around. They have a brief exchange about her doing his laundry or something, he protests that she doesn't need to do that and she says it's already been done.
Then she notices his coat, compliments it, and asks if it's new.
Henry says, "Oh, yes... my w--uhhh, it was sent to me."
(The point being, it's obvious that he was just on the edge of saying that his wife sent it to him, and at the last moment he realized that it might not be quite the thing to say in this situation.)
Roger Bowen gave such a wonderfully subtle performance as Henry in that film. He does a lot of that kind of thing, where he almost says/actually says something that isn't quite appropriate, and then immediately backpedals. Another good example is just after Spearchucker first arrives, and the first football practice is just about to get underway. Henry says, "Men, I just want you to remember that we're all the same out here on the playing field. (beat) Officers and enlisted men alike."

Oh, that's pretty cool. Something I didn't know about.
Independence Day is a cheesy movie, but it's a good kind of cheesy movie.
And Will Smith's line was probably over quoted back when it aired, but I always got a kick out of "Welcome to Earth" *punches*
i prefer 'now that's what i call a close encounter', personally.
I still loved that yell he gives right after he and the alien pilot crash.
"Who's the man? Huh? WHO'S DA MAN? Wait till I get another plane! I'm a line ya friends up right beside you!"
"Who's the man? Huh? WHO'S DA MAN? Wait till I get another plane! I'm a line ya friends up right beside you!"
oh, and 'oh, you did not shoot that green shit at me!'
"AND WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SMELL?! I COULD HAVE BEEN AT A BARBECUE!!"
I have an urge to watch Independence Day now.
The Ghostbusters library comment reminded me of one of the opening of the sequel. Winston and Ray trying to live past their fifteen minutes of fame and signing their song in front of the kids.
"Who ya gonna call?"
"He-Man!"
And as we're on a Trek board, the moment from Star Trek VI with Kirk and Chang...
"We need breathing room!"
"Earth. Hitler. 1938."
"...I beg your pardon?"

I actually watched that this past Independence Day (cliched, I know) and honestly giggled like a small child when that scene came up.
It's cheesy, but it's never *not* awesome.
Indeed, you cannot fully appreciate Godwin's Law until you've heard it in the original Klingon....
Shadowcat's cameo in Xavier's office in X1. Oh, the cute girl left her book, grabs it, runs past Logan and straight through the closed door!
